Monday March 30, 2009 Today Intel announced its next generation server processors, the Xeon 5500 series, codename Nahalem.
This processor has been on our radar for performance optimizations since 2007, and the Sun and Intel Java VM and Performance teams have pushed the new chip to higher and higher levels.
Today I'm pleased to announce world class SPECjbb2005 results running Sun Java 6 Update 14 64-bit Server Performance Release on a Sun branded system with 2 Intel Xeon X5570 CPUs with a score of 556,882 SPECjbb2005 bops, 278,411 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM. Details on the system configuration will be available later this month.
This proves once again that Sun Java powered by the HotSpot Server VM is the fastest, most reliable, and most widely deployed, open source Java Runtime in the world. World class reliability and performance and still open source, we can beat the proprietary competition even though they can use all of our source code.
World Class Performance on 2-Chip Systems: 556,882 SPECjbb2005 bops, 278,411 SPECjbb2005 bops/JVM.
Here's What we've done for Nehalem

Here's What we've done for Nehalem
- 64-bit Compressed Oops Performance Optimization: 64-bit now surpasses 32-bit performance.
- Optimized class libraries to reduce cache misses and decrease path length
- NUMA-aware Garbage Collection
- XML library Optimizations
- SSE 4.2 Support
